May 1st, #1 had her 2nd recital with her piano teacher, Penny Patz. She was so excited and confident and showed very little nerves, she certainly didn't get that from me. It's wonderful to see her enjoying piano and desiring to learn more.
Then #1 also turned 8 on Mother's Day. We had a great birthday bash for her this year. Over 40 people showed up at a local park for the party. I think fun was had by all.
To fit our butterfly-themed birthday, we released our own butterflies.
C & C both graduated from their Awanas classes. We can't wait for next year!
We celebrated the end of 2nd grade at Mrs. G's house! What a tremendous blessing she's been to our school and family! We love you Mrs. G!
In a bittersweet finale, the whole school participated in an end-of-the-year performance on the last day of school. It's amazing to see what these children have learned this year. Kinder recited Psalm 53 and sang some songs, 1-2 recited the Table Blessing in Latin and sang their history chronology song. (This was a feat in itself: 32 events from 2200BC to 476 AD, I sometimes wake up to parts of this song running through my head in the middle of the night!) 3rd graders recited Psalm 23 in latin as well. It was so great to see how faithful the Lord's been to us this year at Oak Grove.
And finally, we spent Memorial Day in Pagosa with some of our dearest friends. About 20 of us (half of us being under 10 years old) rented a great house in the Springs. We got a lot of rain, but it was great to let the kids play, grown-ups relax, and enjoy having nothing to do! Can't wait to do it again next year!

Thank you so much for sharing all of this! It's still hard to believe that the year is over . . . I keep thinking I will be back in school next week.
Looks like your summer is off to a wonderful start. Love to your family.
